Due Diligence
Our background in compliance counseling, enforcement, and litigation provides us with a “big picture” perspective on environmental issues in transactions. Our counseling experience provides us with the knowledge necessary to recognize the environmental issues in a transaction. Our experience in government enforcement and litigation enables us to identify environmental issues that could lead to lawsuits or significant losses. Our goal is to resolve these issues so our clients can close the deal in accordance with their business needs.
Property Transfers and Investments
We represent purchasers and sellers of real property and business operations, parties to mergers and joint ventures, landlords and tenants, and lenders and borrowers. We supervise the consultants’ performance of the necessary environmental studies, identify environmental risks, and advise the clients on managing the risks. Then we draft and negotiate the environmental representations, warranties, and indemnification provisions for the purchase agreement, financing contracts, and other transactional documents.
Indemnification
Our assistance does not end when the transactions are finished. We advise our clients on environmental issues occurring during the subsequent operation of the property. Our litigation experience enables us to file or defend indemnification requests.
